New York Yankees at Milwaukee Brewers: Final Score & Recap

The Milwaukee Brewers walked off the New York Yankees 4-3 in ten innings on May 9, 2026, at American Family Field, erasing a one-run deficit in the final frame to hand New York the loss. The DiamondIQ model opened the night giving Milwaukee a 45 percent chance of winning at home, a figure that climbed steadily before reaching 100 percent by game's end. The Yankees carried a 3-2 advantage into the bottom of the tenth but could not hold it, as Fernando Cruz surrendered the lead and the game in one chaotic inning.

The decisive sequence began in the top of the tenth when Ryan McMahon's single off Aaron Ashby gave New York a 3-2 lead, a swing of plus-55.2 percent in win probability and the single largest play of the night. Milwaukee answered immediately in the bottom half against Fernando Cruz. Luis Rengifo drew a walk that swung win probability plus-45.5 percent, putting the tying run in scoring position, and Jackson Chourio followed with a single worth plus-23.7 percent that brought home the winning run. Gary Sanchez had a flyout during that inning that briefly offered Cruz a lifeline, costing Milwaukee 18.6 percent in win probability, but it was not enough to alter the outcome. William Contreras had set the stage earlier with a single in the eighth off Camilo Doval that swung plus-23.5 percent and kept the Brewers within striking distance.
